This is lovely – a small moment in history; Sam and Fitz not quite behaving in period, and Fitz being bored at the speeches, and, yes. Lovely.

Title: Natural Principles
Author: Arcadias Fire
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 968
Characters: Third Doctor
Setting / Era: 1600s
The Third Doctor meets an unhappy schoolboy in 17th C England and lends a hand. There’s lots to like in this ( ‘I guess’ from the schoolboy is a slip, but that’s mere pedantry from me and this is charming & not without proper historical knowledge of the subject in question).

Rating: All ages
Word Count: 2217
Characters: Fifth Doctor, Peri Brown, Erimem
Setting / Era: 1869 Promontory Point, Utah
Five, Peri and Erimem have a bomb to surreptiously remove. This is sweet and fun and, after the brief moment of danger and business as usual, a genuine bit of historical sight-seeing.

This is a short and lovely fic in so many ways, and to say too much would be to spoil things, so I won’t. But it’s definitely a gem.

So maybe these should be contemporary for a 1960s-era Doctor, but, heigh-ho…

Title: History in the Making
Author: RamblingRose
Rating: All ages
Word Count: 871
Characters: Ninth Doctor, Rose Tyler
Setting / Era: New York, December 1980
Nine, Rose, and the assassination of John Lennon. What makes this very short fic a bit special is the mixed-up musing on history, right and wrong, and time travel that it fits in without being didactic. Nice work.
